Jon Heyman of the NY Post reports that the Yankees have signed tall RHP Drake Fellows to an MiLB deal, as the team continues to add to its Triple-A depth.
Fellows struck out just under 20% of batters faced in Triple-A, serving as both a starting pitcher and a reliever, opening the season in the bullpen before being pushed back into the rotation.
He sported a 27% K% in a reliever role and has never made his MLB debut, and there’s some upside here as a tall right-hander with good extension that the team can squeeze more velocity out of him.
The best pitch in his mix is his slider, which is a bullet-spinning pitch that has zero inches of lateral movement and drops a ton.
